Another away game, another performance in the 5s according to the stats. Hardly the only one to blame but when you have one job compared to the CBs, who are constantly in the thick of it, it’s frustrating to say the least! Better required. |  |

He will also have made his own mind up on which players he needs to improve on and January will be his chance to do so as he didn't have long play any part in building the squad in the summer. |  |

Suspect he maybe regretting that already. We just can’t seem to get this position sorted. Such a key one at this level. |  |

Flat footed on his line standing right behind the wall, where’s my 40 downvotes this week? He’s no where near the fricking level, it’s so frustrating to watch, painful in fact. He really does hug his line with this shots from distance as well. [Post edited 31 Oct 18:02]

Number one by accident, we win that game today with any PL level keeper. |  |

Scherpen was awful we can't put him in another Muric situation. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Scherpen’s stats on Opta have had him ahead of Walton on most metrics for weeks. I suspect that GON made the switch to have some time to work with Scherpen on the training ground without the weekly pressure of games, and the plan was to bring him back at the right point. Some could argue the right time is now, but GON will be seeing what’s happening during training, and know when to make that call. And I’m confident he will. Many have already written off Scherpen, and that risks another Muric situation. If GON makes the switch, supporters need to give Scherpen a chance, and get behind him. Wipe the slate clean for his return, and see how it goes. |  | |  |

Look at our captain he never went to the ball truly awful defending and this often happens with O'Shea. |  | |  |

End of day if people can sit there and blindly follow walton every week. They need to give scherpen time as a new keeper. |  |

Another Muric situation? This is the point isn't it? Muric took time to settle, got grief from the fans and never came back from it. Scherpen has taken time to settle, was taken out of the firing line and could come back in at any moment - he has been on the bench. If he comes in and plays like Muric of last season, what's the problem? Of course some fans will still base their opinion of him on what they saw early on but why can't he be a solid keeper? He was signed for a reason like Muric was. |  |

He wasn’t much cop either. Whoever is in charge of goalkeeper recruitment needs to have a long hard look at themselves because we have been cr@p at recruiting them recently. O Shea doesnt get off either,no way is he a premier league centre half. |  | |  |

It’s such an important position, I think it’s a much bigger problem than anyone is giving it credit right now. |  |

He’s overrated by some of our fans I think, he’s decent but it’s pretty clear Diop is the better CB. DOS was not great for Forest’s first goal, was very lucky Fulham didn’t score when he done the same thing and today was just inexcusable. |  |

His job though isn’t it! He’s not at the level and will be replaced at the first proper opportunity, although I’m not convinced that’s January. |  | |  |

I mean you’ve always been incredibly delusional, so I’m not surprised you can’t see what’s in front of you. It’s not just me that thinks he’s not good enough, he’s hasn’t started as McKenna’s number one the last two seasons before this one either! [Post edited 31 Oct 19:06]

| If we have fully decided kjell scherpen can’t do it on 19:18 - Oct 31 with 472 views | gsoly | I heartily agreed with the decision to drop Scherpen. To say the stats now have him ahead of Walton is a nonsense. It was clear as day the side had lost all faith in him. That’s intangible but clear as day. Walton is more senior and has far more credit in the bank with the squad. Scherpen may well come back in but it won’t be soon. |  | |  |

The problem is Walton is poor at this level, even the first his positioning is crap and just left him a tap in at near post. The second we know what happened. |  |
